Study of 72,000 COVID-19 patients
Just prep for 2 month at home just in case. Food, water, medicines, cleansing products, vit c, honey, milk and dried milk, cereals, tin fruit, greens, tuna, meats, cranberry juice, kiwis, smash potatoes, cooking oil, stove and gas tins, lighter, candles, masks. If it gets busy local then lockdown for 2 months. I am in Spain with wife and kids 12 & 14 and we have prepped at home so we can lockdown and not after go out th door for 2 months. Just in case. Car outside with full fuel tank. Good luck. See private message!

Indeed! They won’t be told though... let’s hope they don’t come to regret it. I’d rather be prepared just incase. I just received a text from my GP surgery saying if you’ve travelled in the last 14 days to any of those areas to stay away and phone 111 for advise. The main headline today was potentially closing schools for 2 months if it starts popping up everywhere which seems to be happening now, there’s lots of articles in the news but on social media too. I’m concerned as I have asthma but mostly about supply issues which will be a nightmare!
Don't pay the bills and use the next money you get in to prep up. Can sort bills out later when using the prepped food left over. Don't forget the rice! Bread and Crackers. Elderberry juice if can get. noodles, dark chocolate! And booze!

Yeah, second this.
It depends on your budget of course, not everybody can stock up in a pinch, but if you can, think about it like shopping ahead.
Most stuff we buy these days has a long shelf or freezer life, so grab a couple of months in advance.
Then do your weekly or fortnightly (or monthly) shop on top of that, and as you buy new stuff, rotate it through so that nothing gets wasted.
If SHTF and there are supply issues, you're fine.
If you lose your source of income for a short period, you've got supplies for a couple of months (which could stretch), until you can work something out.
If we win the lottery and all dodge a bullet, then # - don't shop for a month and chew through your supplies.
Of course, if you want to go hard-core and start living off grid - you're outside my level of preparedeness, so I'm out of advice...
Stay safe.

I just can't see that type of reaction here in the UK, it seems like we would never enact these types of things - residents told to stay home, all schools shut, limiting purchases.
I am also not sure our society would be willing to accept it.
In your opinion MIM are most people ok with it? No major problems - are people quite accepting of schools shut/staying home? thanks

In all my years being on here at ATS I have never encountered a virus thread lasting more than a few pages. We have now entered part 4 of this mega-thread! This virus is not going away anytime soon.
Thank you, Agit8, for your timeless effort to bring us a thread where we can all gather and share information. I appreciate you!
I love reading everyone's thoughts and ideas, too!
